Hello.
I've been working on my OCaml-R binding, and I quite pleased to see that
it is functional, though far from being perfect or polished. You can
find the gitweb webpage and the interface documentation at
http://yziquel.homelinux.org/gitweb/?p=ocaml-r.git;a=tree
http://yziquel.homelinux.org/topos/api/ocaml-r/index.html
I'm having unexpected trouble with the math library, though. The
interface documentation is here:
http://yziquel.homelinux.org/topos/api/ocaml-r/Rmath.html
For instance, for the norm_rand symbol, I have the following
documentation comment:
> val norm_rand : unit -> float
> Random variates from the standard normal distribution. Bug: currently systematically returns -8.77332116900134373.
Any idea as to why the function systematically returns the same value?
Is there a way the math library should be initialised?
All the best,
